MushroomLog is a feature-rich iPhone App designed to keep track of when and where you find wild mushrooms. You can log single observations, like when you spot a chicken-of-the-woods during a drive along a back road, or you can use it to track where you go and what you find on a mushroom walk with your local mycological club. In addition to mapping the location of each observation, it lets you record the common name and scientific name of the mushroom, what the mushroom was growing on, the habitat where you found it, how plentiful they were, and how confident you are in your identification. You can save pictures of each mushroom. The App builds a personal database of your foray locations, where you walked on each foray, each mushroom observation you made, and the pictures you took. Later, you can retrieve and map the track and observations from your walks or search your observation database by species, location, a range of dates. Getting Started tutorials and a complete User Manual are available on the MushroomLog support site.
